Summary of Friedrich Reck's Diary of a Man in Despair

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Spengler was a man of great human greatness and small and large frailties. He was the kind of man who liked to eat alone, and he would often declaim the entire time.

#2 Spengler was the most humorless man I have ever met. He was also the most sensitive to even the smallest criticism. He despised humbug, but he would not allow any inaccuracies or errors to stand uncorrected.

#3 Spengler’s prophecy of the approaching Dostoyevskian Christianity was made in 1922 in the second volume of Decline. But his followers began to leave him around 1926, when he made his peace with contemporary Germany and its businessmen-on-horseback.

#4 The German Revolution is based on simple blackmail. The Nazis found out in 1932 that Oskar von Hindenburg owed 13 million marks, and used this to blackmail him into naming Hitler chancellor.
